THE 9TH WIS.
It's Service and Losses.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: ! would not
for the world bslittle the services of any man
or body Of men, or draw invidious comparisons
as TO their services in preserving our National
unity and integrity. There is in every loyal
heart a benediction for all who were engaged
in that holy cause, and a halo of glory win
ever surround the names Of those who suffered
and died for the equal rights Of all men. Each
and every organization, whether garrisoning
forts or guarding prisoners, escorting ambu-
lance or ammunition trains, or for the faithful
performance Of any duty which fell 10 their
lot, is entitled 10 the gratitude Of the Nation
and TO the We'll done thou good and faithful
servant" as well as those who were placed at
the front.
If those who are making up the history Of
! the late war would bear this in mind aud rely
upon personal knowledge instead Of hearsay,
/ and figures and facts instead of fances, for
1 their statements, and be careful not 10 claim
too much for any one body of troops, especially
when in action and sharing the same dangers
with other troops, they would not arouse so
much Jealousy nor provoke SO much bitter
/ criticism aud censure.
The truth should be told and retold, that the
great sacrifices for Union and liberty may be
ever fresh ia the minds Of the people and duly
appreciated.
The regiment 10 which / had the honor 10
belong-the 9TH Wis.-did not do more than its
share Of fighting at Gainesville, Fitzhugh's
Crossing Gettysburg, or st any other battle
According 10 the records Of the War Depart
ment it was engaged in only % battles, and
/ did not lose 50 per cent. of its entire strength
in each battle. Nor did it capture regiments
and brigades Of prisoners, yet il did its full
duty always and suffered severely.
As no one ever gave the record Of this regi.
ment through your paper, and as il will be Of
interest TO many, give brief sketch Of its
service and loss. IL was mustered into the IT,
S. service Aug is, 1861, for three years or dur.

A Suggestion.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: The propriety
Establishing in the G. r. designation badge,
whereby we may recognize members of our
various commands, has frequently occurred to
my mind. As we now are, with only the badge
of the Order as an introduction, il we wish to
enter into friendly discussion with COM
rade, we are compelled 10 abruptly force an
acquaintance by asking him innumerable ques-
tions. only 20 find that we were widely separ-
ated during the war in different departments
and in different branches of the service. 1t
seems TO me that our enjoyment might be
dOubly enhanced IL we had some means where
by we could recognize a comrade Of our regi-
ment, brigade, division, or corps at sight.
None of US would be ashamed to wear such a
badge. We are all proud of our historic old
commands. Therefore let each member of the
GAR. wear on all public occasions a designa-
ton badge. The cost need be trihing, as such
badge might consist Of blue silk ribbon,
one and q half or two inches wide and six
inches long. with the corps and division badge
in eolors at the top, and the number and name
of the regiment underneath. I hope the Ma
tional Encampment will see the advisability of
adopting such badge.-H w. TUCKER 124th

of nearly 1900. 1t is surrounded by the lar

COL. wASHINGTON's DEATH
The Exact STORY, Told by Maj. Weller.

The ENaci Story, Told by Maj. Weller.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade s.
i. Dent. Go. L, 18th Ind, who recently told
the story Of the death of Col. John A. Wash
ington, Typographical Engineer on Gen. Rob
ert L. Lees staff, near Elkwater, W. Va, errs
so much in various points that / send you the
substance Of the true story rs recently pub
lishod on oath Of one familiar with the facts,
rs 1 am the Serg't Weller referred 10. Col.
Washington was q near relative of George
Washington.
During the month Of September, 1861, the
Union forces lay at Elk Water, w. Va, and
Capt. G. w. Slough, of Co. L, 18th Ind, was
ordered to move his command 10 the support of
the outposts, as the enemy, under command OF
Lee, were accommodating the camp, and there
Were indications that an attack was contem-
plated by his entire force. While at the out
post Sept -, 1861 the report came that the
enemy was ciTcling TO the right and rear.
and Capt. Slough was directed to reconnoi-
ter a rayine not far distant and verify the
rumor, if possible. Weller was a Sergeant at
the time, and he was given two men aud was
ordered 10 proceed in advance on the side oi
the mountain, while the company marched
along the road at the base, given point being
named where they were TO rejoin the com
mand. Near the appointed meeting-place Serg't
Weller and his men met three men on horse.
back. dressed in blue, but with their hats De.
culiarly marked, the one in the center having
the bearing Of an officer and the trio evidently
scouting around TO see what could be seen. On
observing the Sergeant, they wheeled squarely
10 the right and attempted TO ride away. but
Weller cautioned his men, who were good shots
TO " take the middle one" and he dropped from
his saddle. while the others escaped. The ac
curacy of the aim may be judged from Tho
fact that all three Of the shots took effect in
the body near the heart, one of the bullet,

reported 10 the Secretary Of War, who publicl,
thanked Serg't Weller for the service he haC
accomplished, and in directing the return o
the body 10 the Confederate forces Weller wa
permitted TO go along. This act also led 10 hi
speedy promotion as Second Lieutenant, ant
